Statutory Fire Safety Advice

In October 2006, new laws came into force meaning that the way ECFRS does business with its commercial partners have changed dramatically. You will be taking on new responsibilities in relation to the protection of your property and your workforce and we want to work with you to ensure this process is smooth. Among your new responsibilities is a requirement to carry out your own fire risk assessments and create a plan - this illustration will help you make a start. In this section you will find step-by-step details to help you conduct your assessment. If you run into problems please contact your local fire safety department by clicking here.
